Mb Runs Through Ink Super-Fast

[meiers]

Take lots of photos so that people can visually inspect your pen. Show us the nib in close-up if possible. And a writing sample.

When a fountain pen writes smoothly until the reservoir is depleted, I call it a good-feeding pen ! If it is "gushing" ink, suspect an air leak at one of the points of seal, perhaps at pen nipple.

 

FYI : 585 and 4810 tell nothing of your pen model. 585 means 58.5% gold = 14k nib. 4810 is trademark. It is the height , in meters, of the mountain called "Mont Blanc".

(Aint dis fun ?)

 

Write with joy.

Here are the pictures. I mistakenly first took pictures of my Sailor. That's what I get for having two similar-looking pens.

I always try to write with joy, but now I feel a little ignorant... Thanks for the FYI. By pen nipple, do you mean where the nib enters the pen?

Where cartridge/converter meets feed.

So if it works with a cartridge without losing ink, it's the converter and I just need to replace that if not, the pen needs repair?

It's a Meisterstück 144. Lovely pen.

I threw out the cartridge-converter for mine, a 144R, and am happily using cartridges in mine.

 

May we see a writing sample?

Here you go; pardon my handwriting. Do you mind sharing whose cartridges you've used successfully?

I use Montblanc cartridges in my 144R.
